Name A Kitty For $10 To Help Them Find Homes In WilCo

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TX — Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter will let pet lovers name a kitten or cat for $10 through July 2 for its 2nd annual Name A Kit10 Fundraiser.

The fundraiser, which kickstarted Monday, allows interested participants the opportunity to save feline lives by allowing them to name a kitten or cat by donating $10 or more. Participants can donate and name as many felines as they wish, officials said.

April Peiffer, WCRAS community programs coordinator, said the annual fundraiser saves the lives of hundreds of cats annually.

As of Monday, WCRAS has taken in over 600 cats and kittens in May and June.

“Now is the perfect time to let your creativity shine while helping a great cause,” said Peiffer. “The names you provide will be added to the kitten-naming registry with your donation. Participants can then watch wilcopets.org to see an adoptable kitten with the name of their choosing.”

In addition to monetary donations, Peiffer said they are also accepting items to help the most vulnerable, and that a listing of the items needed most is included on the fundraising page. All funds raised will be used for the shelter's kittens’ needs.

Peiffer said for those who would rather bring a kitten home, WCRAS will waive the adoption fees when individuals adopt two or more cats or kittens during this event.

Those interested in donating or naming a kitten can learn more by contacting WCRAS at 512-943-3817, or by visiting the ‘Name a Kit10’ website.
